Kieren Mar 2021 7:02pm, 9 Mar 2021 4,128 posts	Quote Pin Kieren I'm doing this with a few friends weekly. I thought it might be something accessible Fetchies might like. The whole thing is less than 4 minutes, so easy to fit in. The first video is an example of what needs to be done, the 2nd video is a useful timer version you can use to time yourself. You start on the ground. Example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41N6bKO-NVI&t=9s The timer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koMp3ei4xJw I started on 1:21, now 2:06

Kieren Mar 2021 9:15pm, 9 Mar 2021 4,130 posts	Quote Pin Kieren A pressup challenge to the song 'Bring Sally up". When the song says up, you go up, down, you go down.

chunkywizard Mar 2021 10:32pm, 9 Mar 2021 11,570 posts	Quote Pin chunkywizard How many press-ups in total? And in the down do you have to keep your chest off the ground?
Rosehip Mar 2021 10:35pm, 9 Mar 2021 20,054 posts	Quote Pin Rosehip Press-ups? oh, no thanks! We used to do the squats version with the yr 8 girls at school, I was most chuffed that I could manage the whole thing alongside the PE teacher - it's harder than it looks!

TBR (TheBeardRunner) Mar 2021 11:37pm, 9 Mar 2021 3,491 posts	Quote Pin TBR (TheBeardRunner) becca7 is being a bit generous. I did this for a bit a while ago but never got past 2 minutes. However my pushup game is much stronger these days so definitely will have a crack.
Angus Clydesdale Mar 2021 12:23am, 10 Mar 2021 22,090 posts	Quote Pin Angus Clydesdale This was a bit of A Thing last summer. I wouldn’t mind but the soundtrack is excruciatingly mind-numbingly boring. Four minutes will feel like four hours.

About This Thread

Maintained by Kieren

A fitness challenge you can do while you wait for the kettle to boil. It's press-ups to a "sally up" song. High plank position on sally up, low plank position on Sally down. Sally down holds for about 4 seconds on the chorus and that is hardest part.

The useful links below have an example video and then a timer video with the song to follow along and record time whilst taking part.

Log a time as frequent as you like. Do it on your knees if required.

When you log your time, perhaps add in brackets how far up / down you are on your previous effort. Good luck!

eg: 01:27 (+6s)
